This idea of haziness works very well with the subject. I like the life and movement in it.

Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada
Nicely captured Lorraine! Someone should tell those wind surfers that it doesn't work on lazy hazy summer days....... no wind.... ;-))))

We have so many of those days here in New Jersey... except this summer, which is wonderful and cool so far! Really nice summer shot, Lorraine!

@Betty: I enjoy a few overheated days of summer, but a few is good enough for me, so far we've had a fairly cool summer, so I'm a ok, thanks so much :)

The water appears too calm, without wind for those sails. Still a gorgeous day to be on the water. Lovely capture.

Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
If I tried that, I would be just a head bobbing in the water.
That is a dreamy shot.

Claudia from Illinois, United States
Maybe they are all taking a beginner's lesson and just learning how to get up on their boards. (I was just reading other comments about how there was not enough wind for wind surfing). Either way, it's a great capture of hot, hazy, summertime fun at the lake!
